The Perl6 OO Cookbook, v0.2 is online.
http://cog.cognitivity.com/perl6/
Changes include:
[] *Much* better accuracy in most of the early recipes (better matching
to Apos/Exes and perl6-language: see the 'Status' fields of each
recipe.) More fixes coming very soon.
[] Ability to annotate sections and recipes w/
discussion/comments/questions
[] Ability for the community to 'rate' each recipe for (1) general
importance of the problem presented and (2) acceptability of the
solution presented.
[] A new section on assertions/invariants (no solutions, only problems
:-D)
For more info, see the new About/Contribute/Preface pages.

For those of you who haven't yet visited, the goal of the POOC is (at
the moment) less to give Solutions (because most haven't been decided
yet) than to compile the full and complete list of Problems that
solutions will eventually be shoved into. It represents "all the
questions that someone is likely to ask" when being introduced to perl6
OO. There are 106 recipes so far.
The interactive features are experimental. They're in there to
encourage community discussion, and because they were easy to do (I'll
tweak them as needed). There are many people out there who don't have
the time or ability to help the perl6 programming efforts directly, but
who still are intensely interested in the process; this represents one
simple way of contributing.
1) Ratings
I am hoping that the general community will help out by 'rating' each
problem and solution.
By giving a Problem a high rating, you're saying that a one-line
solution to the problem is critically important to you. A low rating
means you don't particularly care if perl6 even _supports_ a solution
to the problem.
By giving a Solution a high rating, you're saying that if that's the
way perl6 actually solves the problem, you'd be thrilled. A low rating
means you'd never remember the solution or syntax in a million years,
and would need it stapled to your forehead if you actually wanted to
use that feature.
2) Comments/Annotations
A place exists in every section and recipe for comments, questions,
objections, corrections, or general discussion. Use this to give
feedback or ask/answer questions when you don't want to clutter up the
mailing lists.

For reference, in the first week the POOC had been visited by at least
550+ unique individuals, logging thousands of individual visits. Not
bad, I think.
